White Chili

I love this Chili. It is the best chili ever. Each spoonful is delicious and loaded with beans, chicken, green chili, spices, in a delicious thick broth. The broth is flavored with chopped onions, garlic, cumin, Mexican oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and white pepper. I add a big handful of Mexican cheese to my chili, but others prefer some sour cream, chopped onions, along with the cheese. To make a this bowl of chili complete, I serve it with a warm flour tortilla. Now this is what I call a good and satisfying dinner.

This chili takes a while to cook so start early. It is well worth the time it takes to cook it. Most of the cooking time is spent cooking the beans - about 3 hours. Once the beans are cooked the remaining time is about one hour.

Directions:1. Combine the beans, chicken broth, garlic, and half of the chopped onions in a Dutch Oven and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until the beans are very soft - 3 hours or more.2. In a skillet heat the olive oil and sauté the onions until soft. Add the green chilies, cumin, Mexican oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper and mix well. Add the onion mixture to the beans. Add the chicken and half of the jalapeno pepper unless you like your chili hot then add then add all of the pepper. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. 3. Check seasonings and add remaining jalapeno pepper - if needed, salt and white pepper. Cover and simmer an additional 30 minutes. 4. Ladle into bowls and top with the shredded Mexican cheese. Garnish with cilantro, diced onions, and/or sour cream. Serve with a warmed flour tortilla

About Me

Throughout my lifetime, I have been passionate about food. Whether it be cooking food, eating food, researching food, experimenting with recipes, I loved it. I started my cooking adventure at home watching, and helping my parents, grandmother, aunt, and cousin cook. As I got older, I got more involved in cooking. Eventually, with the help of my trusty cookbooks, I was cooking meals on my own. Eventually, I started experimenting with adjusting this and that in recipes. I also started experimenting with duplicating meals I ate at restrauants. Some meals were great experiments, others were not so great. I have had my recipes published in "Taste of Home" publications.
